As I remember it, there are a decent amount of differences between RHEL3
and RHEL4.

I'd check your startup logs and such, see what is complaining. The
printer spool directories should be checked as well.

Are the printers direct attached or network printers served by the Linux
machine?

Thanks,

I just switched from RHEL3 to RHEL4 on one of my servers.   The
configuration files were just moved from one system to the other.

Macs and other unix computers used to be able to connect through port
631 to cups to do their printing on the RHEL3 system.  They no longer
can.

I have selinux disable because I don't understand it completely and
did not want it interfering with printing.
I have 631 tcp and udp enabled in iptables.

The Macs time out saying that port 631 is busy on the server.

What do I need to open up?

Using netstat I found that my computer was listening on port 631, localhost only.

tcp 0 0 localhost:ipp *:* LISTEN
udp        0      0 *:ipp                       *:*


I added the following lines to the bottom of  /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255
Listen *:631


The "Listen" argument was by default  "Listen localhost:631"

My macs can print through my linux print server again.
